Hello! I’m Sara, the owner of Ebb & Flow Bodywork - a home-based practice offering customized, therapeutic, trauma-informed bodywork for women. My work is rooted in a deeply client-centered approach. I listen closely to your needs, respect your boundaries, and never push your body beyond what feels safe or appropriate. Communication is the cornerstone of my practice, and each session is guided by collaboration, consent, and trust. My goal is to help you feel capable, supported, and deeply connected to your body.

Philosophy & Approach

My approach blends therapeutic bodywork with nervous system awareness to support both physical pain relief and long-term regulation. I don’t view the body as something that needs to be “fixed.” Instead, I introduce new, supportive stimulus to your nervous system so your body can access its own innate ability to heal, adapt, and reorganize.

Through intentional touch, movement, and regulation-based techniques, we encourage hydration and adaptability of the fascia (the connective tissue system that influences posture, mobility, pain patterns, and overall body awareness). When the nervous system feels safe, the body becomes more receptive to change and can release long-held protective patterns.

Open, honest communication is a core part of my work. I prioritize creating a space where you feel comfortable sharing feedback, sensations, boundaries, and needs throughout your session. Whether it’s pressure preferences, emotional responses, sensory sensitivities, or simply needing to pause and breathe, your voice matters. Your comfort and sense of safety guide every session.

Each session is fully customized and may include a combination of:

  • Therapeutic massage techniques (deep tissue + Swedish)

  • Myofascial release and craniosacral-inspired techniques

  • Guided breathing and gentle visualization

  • Assisted and passive stretching

  • Nervous system regulation support

  • Intentional, grounded, trauma-informed touch

  • Complimentary enhancements such as hot towels, cupping, and heated scraping therapy

These modalities help warm and hydrate soft tissues, improve circulation, increase mobility, and reduce bracing patterns held in the body. By prioritizing safety, communication, and consistency, we create the conditions for deeper, more sustainable healing, not quick fixes or temporary relief.

This work is collaborative. Your body leads. I provide the support, presence, and skilled input to help guide the process.

Conscious > Crisis Care

Ebb & Flow Bodywork is designed for those seeking more than temporary relief or quick fixes.

You’ll receive one-on-one personalized care from a professional bodyworker experienced in supporting people through major life transitions, pregnancy and postpartum, and ongoing patterns of stress and pain.

Rather than rushing through sessions or relying on one-time treatments, my work emphasizes consistency, trust, and learning how to listen to the body over time. This allows your nervous system to soften and your body to respond more fully to care.

This work may be supportive if you’re experiencing:
  • Chronic or acute pain
  • Stress, overwhelm, or burnout
  • Insomnia, trouble sleeping
  • Feeling disconnected from your body
  • Tension related to life transitions
  • Pregnancy or postpartum changes
  • Fertility challenges
  • Perimenopause & menopause
  • A desire for ongoing nervous system support
  • Navigating loss or grief

Work With Me

Schedule your initial bodywork session online. This first appointment is where we begin building our working relationship and set the foundation for your care.

Book Your First Session

Your first session is fully customized to your body and nervous system that day. We’ll check in about your goals, areas of tension or discomfort, and how your body is feeling, then move into hands-on bodywork designed to support relaxation, relief, and regulation.

Experience The Magic

After your session, we’ll talk about what your body responded to and what it may need moving forward. Together, we’ll create a realistic plan for frequency and focus so you can experience consistent progress instead of temporary relief.

Create Your Treatment Plan

  • Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can settle in and begin with an conversation. We’ll review your intake, clarify your goals, and discuss what’s going on in your body today.

    From there, we’ll move into the hands on work, tailored specifically to you. I prioritize safety, education, and connection.

    After the session, we’ll take time to debrief and gently integrate you back into your body. We’ll discuss aftercare and, if appropriate, create a treatment plan that supports your long term goals.

  • Make sure you’ve completed you intake form before your session start time. Come 10 mins early, hydrated and avoid a heavy meal right before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing and plan to undress to your comfort level for hands on sessions (you will always be professionally draped). If you prefer to stay clothed or partly clothed, wear or bring along comfortable clothing.

    If possible, give yourself a little buffer time before and after your session. Try not to schedule anything stressful immediately afterward so your body has space to integrate.

    Most importantly, come as you are. You don’t need to “fix” anything, or understand your body perfectly. We’ll meet it together.

  • Pressure is subjective. I aim to work with a comfortable but therapeutic pressure for both you and I. Instead of “how much can you tolerate,” we focus on how your body responds -prioritizing pleasure over pain. You are always in control and can request adjustments at any time.

  • If this is your first visit, I typically recommend 90 minutes. This gives us time to talk, assess, and fully address your goals without feeling rushed.

    • 60 minutes is great for focused work or a full body “sweep”

    • 90 minutes allows for deeper, more comprehensive full body work and nervous system support.

    A longer session offers more space, especially for your first session. We can always adjust future bookings based on how your body responds.

  • It depends on your goals and how your body responds to the work.

    • For chronic pain or high stress, biweekly sessions can help create momentum.

    • For preventative care, once a month is often enough to stay ahead of tension patterns.

    During your first session, we’ll discuss what frequency feels supportive and sustainable for you. My goal is to create a rhythm that helps your body feel safe, supported, and consistent over time.

  • All sessions can be booked online through MassageBook. This allows for 24/7 booking anytime for ultimate convenience. New clients are required to schedule online and pay a 50% deposit to schedule. After that, you’ll be able to book online, through text or in person.

    If you’re unsure which session to choose, feel free to reach out before booking and I’m happy to guide you.

  • Cash & Venmo are preferred, but any credit cards are accepted as well.

  • No. Tips are never expected, but always appreciated. Pricing is all-inclusive. The rate you see, is the rate you get. No hidden fees or upcharges for enhancements. If you would like to show your appreciation, leaving a review or referring a friend is just as valuable.

  • I respectfully ask that you provide a minimum of 24 hour notice of any schedule changes or cancellation requests.

    If you cancel within 24 hours of your scheduled appointment, you will be charged 50% of the service booked. Failure to pay will prohibit you from booking any future visits at Ebb & Flow Bodywork.

    I understand that emergencies can arise and illnesses do occur at inopportune times. If you are sick please cancel your session.

  • Bodywork may need to be postponed or modified if you are experiencing:

    • A fever, flu, or contagious illness

    • Active infection or open wounds

    • Recent surgery (without medical clearance)

    • During cancer treatment

    • Acute inflammation or severe injury

    • Blood clots or clotting disorders

    • Uncontrolled high blood pressure

    • Certain high risk pregnancies

    If you’re unsure whether bodywork is appropriate, please reach out before booking. Your safety is always the priority. In some cases, we can modify the session and in others, it may be best to wait until your body is ready.

    When in doubt, communication allows us to make the safest choice together.

  • No. I do not accept insurance.

    I choose not to work directly with insurance because it allows me to focus on providing higher-quality, individualized, and longer, uninterrupted sessions rather than being limited by insurance billing requirements, treatment restrictions, or documentation mandates.

  • Ebb & Flow Bodywork is a home-based practice.
